Singer James Morrison's wife Gill Catchpole was seen without her wedding ring before her tragic death aged 45.
Gill was found dead at their family home in Gloucestershire on Friday. She shares two daughters, Elsie, 15, and Ada, five, with James, 39, following their almost two decade long relationship. The musician - known for hit You Give Me Something - is being comforted by family and friends.
A source close to the family confirmed that there are no suspicious circumstances. The source said: "Gill was found dead on Friday at the family's home in Whitminster. James is devastated and is being supported by his family. He is holding it together for their girls but has asked for the family to be left alone to grieve in private."

Singer James Morrison's heartbreak as partner, 45, found dead at home
James has previously opened up on meeting Gill when he was 17, admitting it was hard as she already had a boyfriend. They first met when Gill moved into James's mother's house as a lodger - with her then-boyfriend. The singer explained on the White Wine Question Time podcast: "It wasn't the easiest start, but I just still see it as a really romantic thing. I'm not very romantic. I'm not like: 'I love romance!' But I do find certain things romantic and the fact that we met each other the way we did. It's like a little fairy tale or something!"
They bonded over their love of music and James would "serenade" her in the corridor hoping that she'd hear him. However, the singer admitted he "never felt in love" before Gill. "I didn't want to tell her that I fell in love with her the first moment I set eyes on her because I didn't know, I'd never felt in love before. So I didn't really know if it was that. So it was like a massive moment for me to even tell her that I liked her," he said about the early stages of their romance.
Speaking in a 2019 interview with the Mirror, the star, who shot to fame in 2006, opened up about his admiration for Gill following a near-death experience. During the birth of their youngest Ada, who was born 13 weeks early, they feared Gill could lose her life and had an emergency C-section.
He shared: "Gill almost died because her blood pressure went so low her heart nearly stopped. Gill was my hero. I’m still so in awe of how she got through it. She’s my rock. I’ve known her since I was playing open mic bars and was a van cleaner. I could never replace her."
